Milford Manor West Milford, NJ

Milford Manor takes really good care of my wife. It is expensive, but it's a nice place. The staff is very nice. The rooms are a little small, but comfortable. She was receiving physical therapy, which they ended today because they believe they have done everything they can. Yesterday and today she was able to use a potty chair and they assured me if they can get her to get off the bed and into her wheelchair by herself for three or four days in a row, they will consider putting her back on physical therapy. It's a nursing home and rehabilitation center combined. They usually get her up and dressed and give her a shower. They run a daily program in the dayroom, and they put on a movie every day.

My husband was at Milford Manor. It was homey. They were very good. The nurses were extremely sensitive to the residents' needs. They were with them all the time and they responded when they needed to. They have physical therapy there. They can be a little pushy for that, which is what the people need. They didn't just sit back and let them not participate. They have lots of different kinds of activities. They have bingo and presentations and lots of interesting things. My husband was actually in very large private room. They also have a small atrium where people can go. If your family wants to come and have lunch with you, they can have lunch with you. The meals were very good and very well prepared.

Milford Manor Nursing Home, is a great facility. My grandpa stayed there while he was doing rehab, and although he may not have enjoyed the stay, we could see how much of a difference they had made on my grandpa. His breathing was more controlled, and he seemed to have more confidence with his daily routine. The facility was regularly cleaned and was in very good condition. The activities they offered to the residents changed on a daily basis; some days they offered bingo, other days they offered trivia, word games, and reminiscent activities to bring back the young spirit in my grandpa and the other residents. Every day they would offer coffee/tea/hot chocolate to the residents to start their day. The nursing department was extremely helpful and made sure that the medication my grandpa was getting was correct. Any problems he had, whether breathing, moving around, or medication-wise, they were always there to help him. My grandfather complained about the food, but really, nothing will ever beat home-cooked meals. This facility helped out my grandpa tremendously and I am thankful for that.
